My only complaint in life (the second time for such a complaint in less than two months) right now is that I have to work again on a holiday. Grr!
I had to work during Labor Day weekend and now, I have to work on Pasig Day...an official holiday! And this is with no extra pay whatsoever. Grr!
Serving God and humanity is so hard talaga. Naks! HaHa!

Third Wheelin'
I love my cousin J and his girlfriend. I love them because we get along well. I love them because when I needed people to go with to a party last year, they went with me. I love them because whenever I tell them my hurty-hurt feelings, I'm 100% sure that they won't tell any of the family members. I love them because they take me along with them on their dates.
Well, I love being their third wheel...until last night. They totally set me up! After texting J that I was bored out of my mind in the condo, he told me to get ready because we were going to a children's party at El Pueblo. Thinking nothing of it, I dressed up and went with them (Long live second childhoods!).
When we got there, "he" was there - "he" being J's girlfriend's boss a.k.a. the guy they had mentioned to me before, but wasn't too excited about. Eek. If you're going to set me up, the #1 rule is: tell me first (the #2 rule is don't tell the guy so that he won't take it personal if I decide to be my usual antipatika self. HeHe!).
Anyway, I refused to entertain the idea of dating "him." I know my cousin and his girlfriend want me to be happy, but I think they're more interested in the free food that comes with dating this guy (an owner of a restaurant chain in the metropolis) that's why they keep insisting that I should give him a chance. HaHa!
While hanging out at The Podium after the party, my cousin joked that I should make a scrapbook of all the guys I've dated. It will give me something to do daw at the condo and something to keep me laughing when I'm feeling lonely. Ang sama!
*SIGH. It will be July next week already. Then, August...and we all know what my goal is for August. Hindi yata kakayanin ang deadline. Pucha, I know I said "special someone" pero puwede hindi pinsan ko and his girlfriend ang date ko sa birthday ko? God, are you listening? Listen, please. LoL.

Destiny's Child
Tadhana ko na yata to be with geeks.
I went to a Robinsons mall to use the wi-fi. Papa the Powerbook couldn't find the wi-fi signal (like what happened at Galleria a couple of months ago) so I had to ask the barista. The barista then asked one of the "regular customers" to help me out. Not bad looking if you ask me. The problem? Pucha naman o, I didn't bother to do my hair before I left the condo. As in, I combed my hair lang, then off I went.
Throughout the whole entire "IT support" session, I was wondering kung ilang strands ng buhok ko ang nakatayo. Grr. But then again, if I didn't look decent, he wouldn't take the time to help me out (we couldn't figure out the problem for a good 30 minutes). If I didn't look decent, he wouldn't say goodbye when he left the coffee shop.
Lesson learned? Wala akong mahahanap na boylet kung sa condo lang ako all day on the weekends. Lesson learned? Huwag na akong magpakabit ng phone line sa condo. Lesson learned? P65 for an iced tea is worth it. Lesson learned? May bagong tambayan na ako sa mall. HaHa!
Konti na lang, destiny will do its magic (Wishing! And yes, I was checking out his laptop, too. Sige na nga, aaminin ko na: geek nga ako. The truth hurts! LoL).

MiNAism: On Second Dates
Tet: Eh yun naman pala eh, he asked you for a second date!
Me: Why wouldn't he? I'm pretty eh.
That, my friends, is the kind of self-confidence we are working with. HaHa! Pretty, but single. What kind of horrible world are we living in?! ;P
To continue the humor of it all, the relatives and I went to Tagaytay last weekend. Of course, my lovelife was the center of all conversations (Oo, pinaguusapan kahit wala nga!). My Tita from Chicago said, "Min, kung puwede lang ngang bilhin ang lalake, bibilhan kita para magkaroon ka!" Ouch! I'm thinking that my relatives have forgotten that I have feelings. There was also a comment about my "soul-searching" in the Philippines: that the "soul" in soul-searching is a boyfriend. Gosh, this family is too darn witty talaga when it comes to making fun of my single state. HeHe.
Anyway, what I'm recently realizing is that you really can't have everything in a guy. I'm trying to decide whether I want a pogi guy pero tarantado naman or a not-so-pogi guy pero who will treat me well. Like I said, it's a horrible world we are living in. ;P

And Another One
My beloved Tetski is getting married! Another one has been plucked out of the singlehood bandwagon! Zara got married in 2005, Mayie in 2006, Tet in 2007, who's up for 2008? Sabihin na para ma-i-lista ko na. HaHa!
Anyway, I'm truly happy for Tet and Jason. And through these two, through Tet's examples of how she and Jason are when dealing with relationship issues, I've learned a lot about what having a mature relationship is all about-the kind where you say what you mean, act what you mean, do things for the sake of the other and not yourself, etc., etc., etc. =) Sure gave me something to strive for in my next relationship...uhh, whenever that is. ;P
Congrats again, dear neighbor!
